Kiltane

Kiltane (Irish: Cill tSéadhna) is a parish in Erris, North County Mayo, Ireland.

From it they transported milled peat to the now defunct, peat-fuelled power station at Bellacorick, now the site of a large wind farm.

For administrative purposes as well as limiting the number of Catholic clergy during the Penal times (17th century), Erris was divided into two parishes, namely, Kilcommon and Kilmore.

In a Government document of 1801 compiled from data supplied by the local Catholic bishops, Kilcommon is given as still having only two priests.

The boundaries were again altered in August 1873 when the present parish of Kiltane, Erris, was formed and the ancient name was restored.
